Equality Diversity & Inclusion Caucus (EDICa): building a workplace for everyone
The Equality Diversity & Inclusion Caucus (EDICa) is funded by UKRI and the British Academy until the end of 2025, to research the evidence base for inclusive careers across the UK’s research and innovation systems.
Autonomy’s work with EDICa aims to identify how work can be organised in a variety of research workplaces to create enabling workspaces. This could include labs, offices, fieldwork, workloads, working patterns, hybrid working, workspace, remote working, and industrial relations.
We will co-design practical strategies for creating workplaces and workspaces that enable all researchers to thrive.
The pandemic has had an unequal impact on people working in the research & innovation sector. EDICa undertook a comprehensive study to review the impact it had specifically on inequalities.
